Horticulture: Research Programs: UGA Campus Arboretum Walking Tour of Trees

How to use this online brochure

- The Tree Tour Brochure arranges campus into three sections: North, Central and South. A tree identification plaque is attached either directly to the tree or on a stake near the tree. Each plaque identifies the tree by name and has a number to correspond to the map. Those who are not familiar with campus may want to obtain a map from the Visitor’s Center or Tate Center.

- North Campus Walk (0.5 mile & disability accessible) starts at the Arch on Broad Street. The walk proceeds south to the Main Library then back north to the Arch. The President’s Club Garden is located near tree #32.

- Central Campus Walk (1.7 miles) starts at Memorial Hall just north of Sanford Stadium. The walk winds in-between Tate Center and the University of Georgia Bookstore, across the parking lot, up to a wooded area off Lumpkin Street, around the Physics building, down to Sanford Drive, and back to Memorial Hall.

- South Campus Walk (2.5 miles) starts at Conner Hall on Cedar Street. The walk continues around the Georgia Center, down to Stegeman Coliseum, over to the Tennis Courts, then north to Soule, and returning to Conner Hall. The Tennis Court Garden is located near tree #27, Mary Kahrs Warnell Memorial Garden is located near tree #45, and the Betty Johnson Horticulture Trial Garden near trees #47-49.

- Following each map is a section of brief descriptions about each tree. The place of origin is usually stated following the description. When “Georgia” is listed as origin, this refers to the fact that the plant grows naturally somewhere in the state.

- Both botanical and common name indexes are located at the back of the brochure.
